With the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, it’s time to lock in some early futures value for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Last year’s winner, Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, opened at +1000 to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. We recommended that pick and hope you enjoyed the 10-to-1 payout. There is another cornerback at +1000 odds to open the season and a cornerback has taken home the award three times in the last 10 years, but oddsmakers have four edge defenders among the favorites.
Let’s take a closer look.

Our reporters break down what surprised them in the draft based on their insights from recent years.

The 2023 NFL draft is over … now what? We answered lingering questions, including next steps for the Lions, Patriots and Eagles.

The Ravens are declining linebacker Patrick Queen’s fifth-year option, a source told ESPN.

Texas A&M-Texarkana baseball player Matthew Delaney, 18, was struck in the chest by a stray bullet during a game on Sunday. He had emergency surgery and is in stable condition.

The Bills have signed veteran running back Latavius Murray to a one-year contract, the team announced Monday.

Last season, MLB introduced in-game interviews during nationally televised games, and the reviews were universally positive. We’re talking about interviews with players while they’re competing in a game, as opposed to players speaking during a rest day.
It was a whole new fan experience to watch and listen as players were interviewed by broadcasters while playing the outfield or warming up for their at-bat. But, naturally, players were hesitant to accommodate the distraction—so there was a nice monetary incentive.

The Flames fired coach Darryl Sutter on Monday after three seasons.

The Broncos on Monday picked up wide receiver Jerry Jeudy’s fifth-year rookie option.

Former NFL star J.J. Watt and his wife, Kealia, who is a professional soccer player, announced Monday they’ve become minority investors in Burnley Football Club in England. 
In a hilarious video that the couple shared on social media, Watt announced that he’s “officially retiring from retirement” because of his love for football … this time, the European kind. 
At one point, the video jokes that Watt “wants to be Ryan Reynolds,” the co-owner of Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, which has been the subject of the docuseries Welcome to Wrexham.
